So, it was a lifetime ban, right. So HOF class of 2025 while some of us and his family are still alive?
Permanently ineligible. Means forever. Rob Manfred could lift the ban but he's never shown an inkling to do soSo, it was a lifetime ban, right. So HOF class of 2025 while some of us and his family are still alive?
So what rule did he break?If there aren’t, then I’m accusing him.
His head grew. Let’s be real.
We’re all adults here.
Regular season vs playoffs.You mean like the Mets did yesterday?
BS ban, but a ban nonetheless. He had no control (or even influence) on any on-field play at all when he worked with the Casino.Mays got banned after he retired.
Cuz gambling. Sortve.
He agreed to it.
Pete Rose was a scumbag who deserved everything he got.
If they put Reggie in, there is no reason to keep Rose out.A scumbag who got more hits than anybody.
He should've been in a long time ago

And Reggie attempted to kill the queen literally in the middle of a game.
Those stats actually kind of show how overrated he was. 1st in hits, great. 465th in OPS+ LOL 26th in caught stealing.Statistically speaking, he should be in.
1st in Hits
1st in Outs Made
2nd in Doubles
26th is Caught Stealing
30th in OWAR
35th in WPA
41st in GIDP
66th in WAR

He was a singles hitter who played forever. Big deal.
But he did win MVP and 3 titles and lots of all star appearances (17) from 5 different positions (a MLB record) and a couple Gold Gloves. I'm ok if he gets in now that he's dead but until the HOF puts Bonds and Clemens in I don't really care what they do.
MSG covered this well, but I will add…Statistically speaking, he should be in.

That is brilliant. I never thought of it like that, but that is a great comparison.He's the Nolan Ryan of hitting...
well. maybe he should have chosen his words more carefully, especially now that he sold out the sould of baseball and every stadium in the league has legalized gambling. Pete kept promoting baseball til the end.Permanently ineligible. Means forever. Rob Manfred could lift the ban but he's never shown an inkling to do so
only thing I ve halfway respected about him was how intense he played the game.I hated th guy when I was a kid and a Mets fan.
